Romies is more than just an restaurant; it's a destination where memories are made, relationships are nurtured, and a sense of belonging is cultivated.
Join us as we invite you to indulge in an experience that celebrates tradition and embraces the excitement of the new.
Romies offers a lively Montreal dining experience with a warm, stylish vibe and a crowd that appreciates shareable plates, bold crudo and fried zucchini, and well executed mains like steak and pasta. The food is frequently described as delicious and flavorful with standout desserts such as the blackout cake, and cocktails and wine are also praised, as is the terrace and interior which create a welcoming atmosphere. Service is often attentive and friendly, though a number of reviews note inconsistent pacing and some slow moments, and prices are considered high for what is offered. Overall Romies is seen as a top pick for friends and celebrations, with many guests planning to return to enjoy the food and ambiance despite these drawbacks.
I have read some mixed reviews prior coming to Romies but I still wanted to give it a try during my recent visit to Montréal. Overall I like their food but there were some improvements I would like to suggest.
They didn't really have a big menu, & if they have printed on the menu I would have expected they were available to order. When I tried to order the steamed clams main dish, our server told us it was not available. & that's the only thing they didn't have on that day. I understand but also disappointed, why couldn't they told us right from the beginning? Rather than spending 15 minutes deciding what to order & then only to figure out it's not available.
The food tasted good in general but some of the items were not hot enough in my opinion. The fried zucchini was just warm but not hot. & the NY striploin dish, the side dish hashbrown also just warm but I wish it could be more hot & crispy.
The Brooklyn blackout cake looked good but I actually enjoyed their butter pecan sundae more.
La nourriture est bonne mais pas assez pour justifier le prix élevé. De plus, j'ai trouvé tous les plats un peu trop salés. Les cocktails sont bons. Ce ne fut pas une mauvaise expérience, mais je ne retournerais pas non plus.

The food was amazing & reasonably priced. The ambiance was very nice. I would give this 5 stars but the staff was unprofessional.
The host was talking to his colleague for 5 minutes before greeting me (I was standing in front just waiting for them to finish) & only gave one menu for a table of 7 people.
Very expensive with slow service. Filet mignon was served rare & we asked medium. Cocktails were extremely slow. The faut filet at 100$ was not impressive. Music way too loud
The service at this place absolutely sucks. Took 15mins for us to even be acknowledged by the staff & get water poured. Another 10mins to take drink orders. It took 30mins for one salad & another 45 for a burger & two pastas. Restaurant was 3/4 full.
Foods not terrible but adding lays chips to a caesar salad for crunch is absolute laziness. Make some Parmesan crisps or something - seems lazy. Burger was dry, pasta was ok.
There are so many better options in Montreal

The food was good & the space is very nice. I had the Courgette Frites which were excellent, definitely recommend. Also tried the pasta alla zozzano which was good but expensive for a plate of pasta ($34) with mostly sauce, cheese & bits of bacon. The chocolate cake is decadent & well worth it.
Service was a bit slow especially for our cocktails.
Food 1/10 ( super oily super buttery, basically anything to cover up)
Ambiance 6/10 (lighting is cool, location as well)
Service 7/10 (friendly staff made the experience better)
Will still not go back.

Really disappointed :( I had great experiences here, & this was my 3rd time going to Romies but it's going to be the last one unfortunately.
The service was completly lacking & unattentive. The waiters never came to refill our water during the 2 hours that we were there. She also got my order wrong.
I took the pasta alla zozzona & this time it was not good. The sauce was really acidic too.
We were 4 people & the others did not really love their food either.
At this price point, good service & good food should be consistent.
Nous sommes allées pour un événement & nous avons adoré le service, & que dire de la nourriture! ⭐? Nous avions une personne ayant des allergies très sévères, & les serveurs étaient très à l'écoute & prudents: elle a pu manger tellement de bons repas qu'elle n'avait jamais eu la chance d'avoir dans un restaurant avant, elle était aux anges! WOW!
Ce fût ma troisième visite, au Romies. & pour une troisième fois, nous avons été plus que comblés. Les portions sont généreuses, autant pour les entrées que pour les plats principaux. Le steak-frites était absolument délicieux; présentant la cuisson tel que demandé. L'ambiance décontractée mais raffinée & intime permet de passer un très bon moment. Je ne peux que recommander ce resto; parfaitement situé dans le Vieux-Montréal. & les martinis sont merveilleux !
Attentive & friendly staff. Food was very good & the plating was very nice.
Shared five appetizers between four people & then had the steak & pasta as a main meal. Walked out stuffed.
The cocktails were nice. bees nees is a must try!
Chocolate cake & a coffe were a perfect ending to our meal.
Would definitely go back!
